Teachers' Beliefs and Views about Multilingualism and Translanguaging
Öz
This qualitative study examines the views, beliefs, and practices of for-eign language teachers regarding translanguaging in Turkish primary, sec-ondary, and high school settings. Using thematic analysis, the study explores how teachers view the educational benefits of translanguaging and to what extent institutions facilitate or hinder its use in the classroom. According to the results, translanguaging has a great deal of promise for raising student engagement and motivation. Teachers stated that teaching students in their native language (L1) in addition to a foreign language creates a more wel-coming and encouraging learning environment, as well as strengthening exist-ing knowledge and encouraging long-term memory. However, the study also points out some significant obstacles, such as the instructors' lack of translanguaging training, institutional opposition to multilingual pedagogies, and adherence to English-only regulations. Despite these difficulties, a large number of participants said that they were eager to integrate translanguaging into their work and that they were becoming more conscious of its ad-vantages. Although translanguaging is context-sensitive, the results are con-sistent with international literature, the present study highlights the necessity of curriculum change, professional development, and institutional support in order to facilitate the successful incorporation of translanguaging in foreign language courses in Türkiye.
